Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes,

yesterday my windscreen washer bottle was almost empty so i topped it up today but have since noticed that the headlight squirters dont squirt out water now but the squirter bit still comes out of the light,

Can anyone suggest anything please, i know it was working yesterday but its just stopped all of a sudden.

Gaz.........

i remember my one stopped working because when I slammed the bonnet shut one day it caught the hose that carries the washer fluid, just open the bonnet and make sure its not squeezing any of the pipes

i have had a little look under the bonnet to see if the hoses are trapped and they seem ok, can anyone suggest anything else please, i even tried to squirt them with the bonnet open and still nothing came out

Excellent!

For what its worth, they go through the water at a great rate of knots. So, if you're using your lights and washing the screen frequently you'll probably have to fill the headlight tank every couple of days.

I'm pretty sure I've read that there can be problems when they run out so it pays to top them up. I used to fill mine up whenever I washed the car.
